Karen Lebacqz’s Christian Viewpoint on Abortion

Last updated on: April 8, 2024 at 4:51 pm By Ted Peters

Karen Lebacqz's Christian viewpoint on abortion is illuminating. Stop trying to find the point in a pregnancy when a fetus becomes human, she says. Instead, accept the fact that some women face a crisis and the church community should provide compassionate support. That is the central issue. Read more

Anti-Christian Nationalist Progressives: Pamela Cooper-White

Last updated on: May 16, 2024 at 11:03 pm By Ted Peters

Anti-Christian Nationalist Progressives seem to aim their invectives at American Christian Nationalism, but they actually strike pain into evangelical Christians. Even if our evangelical friends strongly denounce Christian nationalism, they still get scapegoated by the progressives. All this is due to anxiety stirred up by Republican Party politics. It's sad that these Christian groups fell for the sucker punch. Read more

Who is afraid of Christian Nationalism?

Last updated on: May 7, 2024 at 10:59 am By Ted Peters

Who is afraid of Christian nationalism? I have never met a Christian nationalist. No church denomination or school of theological thought advocates American Christian Nationalism (ACN). No doubt ACN exists. But it might look more like a salamander than a fire breathing dragon. Read more

Digital Immortality or Bodily Resurrection?

Last updated on: April 10, 2024 at 5:32 pm By Ted Peters

Digital immortality or cybernetic immortality via whole brain emulation is what transhumanists offer us. We can then live a conscious rational life in the computer cloud in disembodied form. Does this sound more likely than the New Testament promise of bodily resurrection? Read more

Paul Lange on Abortion, Abortion 3

Last updated on: March 19, 2024 at 7:11 pm By Ted Peters

Here’s my question: when does the dignity of the unborn child become morally protectable, thereby proscribing abortion? Paul Lange, who has studied this matter both scientifically and theologically, says 20 to 24 weeks after conception. This stage marks the point where the fetus' cerebrum develops with a nervious system that feels. Perhaps this is a good point to draw the line. Elective abortion with a doctor's consultation should be permitted prior to the 24th week, but prohibited thereafter except to protect the mother's health. Such a public policy shows respect to both the woman and the unborn child. Read more

Nonreductive Physicalism. Soul 6

Last updated on: March 17, 2024 at 11:10 am By Ted Peters

Nonreductive physicalism denies that a soul exists in a disembodied form. When it comes to the afterlife, the nonreductive physicalist looks forward to resurrection of the body as an act of God. Our champion for this view is Nancey Murphy at Fuller Seminary. Read more

Emergent dualism relies on the history of evolution to create a new whole -- a whole is greater than the sum of its parts -- and one new whole is the human soul. The nonphysical soul emerges from its physical past. Read more
